Rock-Ola's World's Series (1934) resources

Once upon a time I ended up buying 3 World's Series over the course of a year.  I made a deal with a friend in the Montreal area and he took all 3 with the promise that one would be returned nicely restored.
In anticipation of my World's Series returning I wanted to compile some resources for this amazing machine. 
It was wildly popular, they apparently made like 50,000 of them.  And while so much coin-op from the 1930s never survived the last 90 years, the sheer volume of World's Series means they aren't too hard to come by.


Tonnes of reproduction parts are available at the wonderful Buckwerx Rock-Ola site
Chris Hale has a Shapeways (3d printing) store where he has recreated many of the key complex parts

and if you want to learn all about the machine, and even see videos of it operating from the INSIDE, check out Mark Gibson's World's Series restoration page at Fun With Pinball.

Between those three sites you should have every bit of info to take an 86 year old World's Series project from start to finish.

PLAY BALL!
